So I've been trying to get faster internet here for some time and finally was told by a supervisor at CL that all their ports are full on DSLAM...
So I decided to track down the hardware and figure out what is what..
I know where the DSLAM is, it's about 3.5 miles away from us which makes are attenuation about 61 downstream.
So I'm curious, what do those silver canister's do? The one I took a picture of is the only one before my neighborhood. Oddly enough, they didn't put any in my neighborhood and from what I've seen it stops just before. Also, do those canisters make it so people further than 3.1 miles from the DSLAM able to get DSL or are they just there to just help boost bandwidth for everyone in general?
